Keeping mom calm and relaxed is my specialty. It's also such an important time for mom to feel confident in her ability to breastfeed in order for the breastfeeding to be successful. A relaxed mom equals a good milk supply and a happy content baby. The mind's influence over the body is substantial: physical pain, fears, moral dilemmas and preoccupations can cause a reduction in milk production. This, of course, depends on the psychological makeup of each mom. Under the same circumstances, different moms can react very differently. Also, having the knowledge to guide a mom through the first few weeks of her baby's life has a tremendous impact on how confident mom will feel in her ability to care for her own baby. Being given the right tools to understand what her baby is asking for is invaluable. Not too mention the help it is for Dad to have a happy Mom and baby!
